Abstract

ABSTRACT Currently, there is no official green or sustainable built environment evaluation system in Turkey. When a certification is required for a building or a site, various certification systems are employed. To meet the demand, the Turkish Green Building Council released an evaluation system called B.E.S.T. in 2013. In this paper, the B.E.S.T. evaluation system is introduced as well as a sample application. The evaluation of the Yalova University Engineering Faculty Building using the B.E.S.T. evaluation system is presented. Field research was conducted and evidentiary documents were gathered in preparation. The study employed both analytical and field research methodologies in this regard. As a result of the study, Yalova University Engineering Faculty Building was assessed to be eligible for the lowest level certificate, the ‘Approved’ degree of the B.E.S.T. evaluation system. Furthermore, the results achieved with the B.E.S.T. were compared to those acquired previously with other green or sustainable building evaluation systems. HIGHLIGHTS - An exemplary set of the evaluation was performed for university campus buildings with the B.E.S.T. certification system. - The conducted case study is one of the earliest samples of B.E.S.T. evaluations. - A comparison of B.E.S.T. with LEED and BREAM is provided. - The importance of establishing a local certification system has been discussed.

利用B.E.S.T.绿色建筑认证体系对亚洛瓦大学工程学院大楼进行评估

目前，土耳其没有官方的绿色或可持续建筑环境评估体系。当建筑物或场地需要认证时，采用各种认证系统。为了满足需求，土耳其绿色建筑委员会(Turkish Green Building Council)在2013年发布了一个名为B.E.S.T.的评估系统。本文介绍了B.E.S.T.考试评价系统，并给出了一个应用实例。介绍了运用B.E.S.T.评价体系对亚洛瓦大学工程学院大楼进行评价的方法。进行了实地调查，并收集了准备过程中的证据文件。这项研究在这方面采用了分析和实地调查两种方法。作为研究的结果，亚洛瓦大学工程学院大楼被评估为有资格获得最低级别证书，即B.E.S.T.评估系统的“批准”学位。此外，通过B.E.S.T.获得的结果与之前通过其他绿色或可持续建筑评估系统获得的结果进行了比较。亮点:一组示范性的评估是针对采用B.E.S.T.认证体系的大学校园建筑进行的。-进行的案例研究是B.E.S.T.评估的最早样本之一。-提供了B.E.S.T.与LEED和BREAM的比较。-讨论了建立地方认证制度的重要性。

期刊介绍： Engineering and sustainable development are intrinsically linked. All capital plant and every consumable product depends on an engineering input through design, manufacture and operation, if not for the product itself then for the equipment required to process and transport the raw materials and the final product. Many aspects of sustainable development depend directly on appropriate and timely actions by engineers. Engineering is an extended process of analysis, synthesis, evaluation and execution and, therefore, it is argued that engineers must be involved from the outset of any proposal to develop sustainable solutions. Engineering embraces many disciplines and truly sustainable solutions are usually inter-disciplinary in nature.
